Boy oh boy. Where do I even begin? Life with Arwyn has been a pure delight, but also an incredibly stressful string of events. In my naivety I assumed this journey with Arwyn would be smooth despite life’s general difficulties. Now I know to assume there will be smooth sailing with any living, breathing thing is foolish.

With the level of anxiousness that I feel, you would think that I am a new mom prepping for the day I’ll be bringing my newborn home from the hospital. I suppose I could contribute this extreme level of nesting to the fact that this will be the first pet that is 100% mine.
